At least you've got a dipstick or the possibility to retrofit one.
Can't you add a 996 gauge cluster? I know that is possible with some 986 cars.
My '08 3.4L, I can't retrofit a dipstick (some of the earlier cars you buy the parts and install and you're good to go). And from what I have been able to find, it's also not possible to get real oil pressure on my car, at least, not easily.
If this applied to my car...
